Donor Age Influences Graft-Versus-Host Disease Relapse-Free Survival after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant in Elderly Patients in Two Countries from Latin America.

Background And Objectives: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) in elderly patients is a growing practice. We aimed to determine the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival (GRFS) in patients ≥65 years who underwent Allo-SCT in two countries from Latin America.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients ≥65 years who underwent Allo-SCT in Argentina and Brazil from 2007 to 2019.

[Determination of some oxidative stress, functional and immunological markers in the saliva of patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT).].

Objective: High doses of chemotherapy used prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) promote severe changes in the stomatognathic system. The objective of the present work consisted in evaluating some functional, immunological and oxidative stress markers in saliva of these patients.

Methods: A longitudinal observational study was carried out on 22 patients admitted to the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit of the Oncohematology Service of the Sanatorio Allende between March 2019 and February 2020.

Clinical characteristics and evolution of hematological patients and COVID-19 in Argentina: a report from the Argentine Society of Hematology.

Individuals with malignancies and COVID-19 have a lower survival compared with the general population. However, the information about the impact of COVID-19 on the whole hematological population is scarce. We aimed to describe the 30th day overall survival (OS) after COVID-19 infection in patients with a hematological disease in Argentina.
